All I had to do yesterday was trim the coverstitched hem, fabric that was fine and without spending hours tweaking would have tunnelled. I was nearly done when I got distracted, small hole cut (DH yelling at the cat).
After considering all options, I pinned some fabric on the back and used the machine's repair stitch, without looking at the manual first. Not a neat job, machine went back and I wanted it forward, but it was okay and would always be unseen. I turned it over and decided to trim off my patch. One end done and DH walked in and asked me something, stopped with the scissors, he went out, started again and my hand juddered (my excuse). Another hole, bigger.
I weighed up the possibilities of cutting the whole lot off and doing the hem again, probably feasible. I wanted it finished, so went upstairs and found a broad length of bias binding same colour (how lucky was that), trimmed some off and machined it on the bottom, just above the coverstitching. A little label, it looked.
This morning I'm wearing it, plenty of room to cut off and redo but I'm leaving it, as a warning. DH is practically blind in the house unless you draw his attention to something so he'll never notice, probably.
